Walks in Leicestershire

A Leicestershire view from Bradgate Country Park

Leicestershire is a lovely county to go walking in as there is so much variety and lots to discover. From old hill forts and burial cairns to medieval castles and on to our more recent industrial heritage the middle county of England has examples of all. The walks on these pages feature a bit of everything like the splendid baronial castle of Belvoir or the simple hill fort on Burrough Hill. Old dismantled railways can be found across the county and many canals are maintained as pleasure waterways now rather than the industrial revolution arteries of the past. There is much beauty in the countryside too and for a county not noted for high country there are many interesting hills to climb. Ascend one yourself and take in the tremendous view.
